to create each Aleph Beta video. Come meet the whole team.
Founder
Rabbi David Fohrman
Founder / Lead Scholar
Rabbi David Fohrman is an internationally renowned lecturer on biblical themes, and the founder and principal educator at Aleph Beta. He has served as an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University, and as a lead writer and editor for ArtScroll's Talmud translation project. Rabbi Fohrman has also served as scholar for the Hoffberger Foundation for Torah Study. He is the author of The Beast That Crouches at the Door, a finalist for the 2007 National Jewish Book Award, The Queen You Thought You Knew, and The Exodus You Almost Passed Over. His latest book project is the Parsha Companion series, a five volume collection on the weekly parsha. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers are available. Stay tuned for the last volume, Deuteronomy, coming soon!
Rabbi Fohrman spent his childhood years in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he reveled in the opportunity to hike in Yosemite National Park. He currently lives in Woodmere, NY, with his wife and children (but is still game to head back to Yosemite at a moment's notice).

Kuty Shalev
President
Kuty founded Aleph Beta together with Rabbi Fohrman in 2011 and serves as the President of the Board of Directors. Kuty was attracted to Rabbi Fohrman’s bravery in asking challenging questions and having the text reveal the answers. As a tech leader he challenged us to create a sustainable broad based subscription based service to give people the ability to learn Torah in this touching way from the text and no matter where they are in part, so that he could learn Torah while doing deadlifts.
